    Seen similar locally. Went in a B&M and the Xmas aisle dwarfs the Halloween aisle. It used to be little Xmas stuff until after firework night (November 5th).

    It’s a funny old world but I’m not always laughing.

      Mince pies are made all year round and then stockpiled for the season. Same for Christmas puddings and cake and Easter eggs.

      I bet they are the bomb!

      Sorry couldn’t resist that.

      Probably doesnt count but my local Tesco (Hertford) still has 2 packs of Christmas marzipan on their ‘bargain/reduced’ shelf. They’ve been there since January but have a sell by date sometime in 2026 - don’t know why they didn’t just kept them on the shelf for this year.
